Adv. Sachin Kadam for defts. present.
Heard Adv. For defts. on Ch/sum no.32/19.
Plaintiff and his advocate are absent. As per order dated 08.09.2021, Ch/sum proceeded without plaintiff\''s reply. It appears that plaintiff is not interested in defending this Ch/sum. Therefore, I shall proceed to decide it on merit.
ORDER BELOW CH/SUM NO.32/19
Perused the affidavit filed along with Ch/sum. It is submitted on behalf of deft. nos.1 to 4 that office of defendants received the summons. Concerned clerk was not aware that appearance has to be filed within 10 days of the receipt of summons. Delay was caused as the papers were not received from the concerned department within stipulated period. After receipt of summons, defendants made payment of Rs.3.3 Lakhs to plaintiff by cheque. Delay is not deliberate or intentional. It is submitted that deft. nos.1 to 4 want to contest the suit on merits.
Considering the reasons mentioned in the affidavit filed along with Ch/sum, it would be expedient to allow deft. nos.1 to 4 to appear before the Court in accordance with Order 37 Rule 3 of C.P.C. Hence, the following order.
ORDER
1. Ch/sum no.32/19 is allowed in terms of prayer clause (a).
2. No order as to costs.
3. Ch/sum no.32/19 is disposed of accordingly.
The matter is adjd for hearing on Ch/sum no.874/19 to 11.10.2021.
